Reflections on CraftCon🍏
What an incredible few days at @3ccpa.bsky.social #CraftCon! The conference, held at the Green Dragon Hotel in Hereford, was packed with insightful talks, inspiring people, and, of course, outstanding cider.

You know when you're attending something good when you completely forget to take photos. #Craftcon was superbly organised: well done Three Counties Cider and Perry Association!! What a programme. And it was so good to be able to do a talk at it for the museum, on Cider brandy.
Now for the final session of Day 1. A tasting of barrel aged ciders from the Godfather of British cider and perry, Tom Oliver #CraftCon
Filling up nicely for #CraftCon @3ccpa.bsky.social in Hereford. @chesterciderclub.bsky.social here en masse
On my way to @3ccpa.bsky.social’s #CraftCon the UK’s greatest gathering of cider and Perry producers, educators and devout fans. Looking forward to 3 days of the most enjoyable CPD I can imagine.
